its been a while since i have made a post so heres a quick little update. 

-last monday, my bio class and i went to calgary to go to the cadavers. it was seriously so disturbing but intersting at the same time! 

-christmas is in 7 days! and i'm off to mesa arizona in 8 days for a little vacation with the rents.

-basketball is now fully underway and we were off to a pretty shaky start at the opening lci green and gold tournament but we are slowly coming together.

-i finished my appication for university and am just waiting on the reply. so nerve-wracking!

-i am turning 18 in 21 days! 

thats all i can think of for now... i know, im lame

SADIES '11

wooo! sadies was pretty awesome this year! after decorating for the dance a whole bunch of people came over to my house and we ordered pizza, played games, watched tv, and just hung out. the theme for sadies this year was famous duos/movie stars. my date and i (aaron k.) dressed up as juno and bleeker.

it's harder then you think to dance around with a pillow under my shirt! it was a pretty fun night with some pretty fun people if you ask me. i have the best of friends :)

happy thanksgiving!

i have so much to be thankful for. i have a wonderful family and i have the bestest friends anyone could ask for. what more could i need?

i love thanksgiving!

best weekend so far!

okay so, first week of school was kinda lame. until friday night. i had my wards country fair which is always a blast and then the first football game and dance of the year was on friday night. if you know me, i LOVE dances. and have been craving to go to one all summer, and i was kinda worried that it wouldnt turn out how i expected it too, but it turned out soo much better. i flippin crowd surfed! thats how amazing it was! being surrounded by a whole bunch of sweaty teenagers was pretty gross but in the end, best dance so far.

and so it begins.

first day of grade 12. wow, i cant believe that i am almost done high school forever. its a bittersweet feeling. it felt like just yesturday that i started grade 10 and how i excited i was to be with the big kids. and here i am, the big kid now.

heres some pictures of my best friends and i on our first day :)

ECHOOOOOOO

woot woot! one of my best friends is taking me to echo for a few days! i have never ever been! its gunna be a good way to end the summer before school starts up again :)

hmm..

today has been an interesting day... it was both happy and sad and im feeling mixed emotions right about now. i went to church with my mom like every normal sunday and in sacrament meeting they released the young women leaders. i have been with these same women since i was like 14 and have grown so close to them. it was devastating releasing these women. then out of the blue, (while i was still tearing up) they called my mom to be the new young womens leader. what?! MY mom?! i was shocked. of course i am happy for her and wish her all the best but this is gunna be an interesting last year of young womens for me... we will see how it plays out.. wish me luck.
